Early on in a child's life, it seems, they find one particular cartoon character that they seem to fixate upon. Each child has his or her favorite. You know the one, the show that you have on videotape that they insist upon watching over and over again, every single day. Of course, they know it so well that they can almost repeat every word, but still, they love the starring character.
This can be almost aggravating, but do not discourage this aspect of your child. Cartoon characters are tools that can be used for teaching a child. The key is to find the perfect character that has the most to offer in educational and moral instruction, and to introduce that character to the child early in life. If you find the right character, there are even manners in which you can "promote" the character to the child, making him more fond of it.
This is achieved by simply buying themed items. If you want to buy a stuffed animal for your child, get one of this particular character. If you are clothes shopping, see if you can find a shirt or a hat with this character on it. The most popular way to get connect the child with the character, however, is that of the novelty cartoon character slippers or house shoes.
Small children seem to have a deep interest in shoes. They love a new pair of house shoes or slippers with a cartoon character on it. When you buy the slippers, the child will excitedly put them on and run around the house.
When raising your child, remember, any tool that teaches them good moral fiber is a tool well worth investing in.
